No bad decision could have been made between those two. Now, post some pictures and make us smile.

Excellent choice and you can still get the sub as your next Rolex.
Post some pics soon

Excellent choice..........

With the GMT Master II, anyone who does not work as a professional diver has a profoundly useful, versatile and attractive watch that will meet any and all probable needs and conditions.

Congratulations.

A picture, please?

Excellent choice, love the GMT

Awesome purchase (and I prefer the GMT over the sub...but ever so slightly!)

Have i seen this somewhere before?

jasper · 15 July 2008, 08:23 AM

Is that a brand new from the dealer GMT II ? If so you may have a particularly special watch. The last of the 16710 (that's the refrence number or your watch) were fitted with the movement from the newest version of the GMT II - known as the 116710.

If your serial number begins with the letter M then you almost certainly have one of the later movements.

Your watch there may be cool for three reasons:

1) It's a Rolex GMT
2) It has a black bezel (Mine is wearing a Pepsi - but the black bezel looks great)
3) It has the later 3186 movement.

So..what's the first letter of the serial number....and when you move the mercedes hand does the red 24 hour hand wiggle?

Excellent choice!! Got my 16710 a few months back...and had a hard time getting if off of my wrist!! Made my other watches MAD!!

Skippy · 15 July 2008, 10:22 AM

Congratulations on a great watch(no wonder you can't stop smiling). Those pictures are a little less then great though and I'm guessing you are to blame and not the camera as other parts of the picture are in focus. Do you have a macro setting on your camera(often a little button with a flower icon)? That watch just deserves better pictures.

You can't go wrong with a watch that really speaks to you. That's a great watch. Enjoy it for many years to come.

Enjoy the time you'll

spend with a classic Rolex!!
